Need help with traits!

[lysarin]

I'm reworking all traits and triggers and now I have run into a big problem. So I hope some of the modding-pros here can help me out!

This is what I've done:

I exported the export-file to microsoft excel where I sorted all traits in alphabetical order (and also in the text- and enums-files). So now all traits are in the right order and nothing is missing (I'm quite sure since the computer sorted everything automatically - and I've doublechecked it).

Then I reexported all lines to notepad-files (export_descr_character_traits, export_descr_VnVs_enums and export_VnVs). Except for the fact that everything is now in a good order there seems to be no difference between the original files and the new ones.

But then when I start the game it doesn't work. Or rather, I can start the game but when I try to start a campaign the game returns to the menu. Then I exit the game the show_err says that it can't find the trait "Loyal" which an ancillary trigger is looking for.

"Weird", I thought. I looked it up and the trait "Loyal" is there. So I removed all triggers in the ancillary-file but then it says some other trait in the export_advice-file can't be found.

Of course, no trait is missing and I can see no difference between the traits from my new file and the traits from the original file! So why the heck can't the game find any of the traits?!

Thanks in advance


EDIT: Never mind. I solved it.
